Tactics flow from superior positions

I stink at blitz, so it's nice once in a while to hit a game I feel relatively satisfied with.  Despite some missed opportunities I was rather pleased with myself for

1) Not getting mated on move 8. (I was milliseconds a way...)

2) Accepting a small positional edge out of an opening I don't know well and building on it, trading one positional edge (pawn structure) for another (seventh rank domination) when the moment required.

3) Catching a pretty tactic at the end.
